Value Collection 05076 Threaded Rod 1/4-20 72 in Alloy Steel B7

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 05076 is a general-purpose threaded rod in a 1/4-20 UNC thread configuration, measuring 72 inches in overall length. Manufactured from Grade B7 alloy steel with a plain finish, this rod provides reliable tensile strength for fastening, hanging, and structural applications across a wide range of trade installations. Right-hand thread direction follows standard convention, making it compatible with standard hex nuts and couplers. At 0.74 pounds, it is lightweight enough for overhead work yet suited for demanding service environments where higher-strength alloy material is required.

This threaded rod is used in mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical installations where components must be suspended, braced, or anchored. Common applications include hanging conduit, ductwork, pipe supports, and unistrut assemblies. The 72-inch length allows field cutting to required dimensions, reducing the need for multiple rod sizes on the job. It is appropriate for both residential and light commercial work and is handled by licensed tradespeople and general contractors alike.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 UNC thread size with right-hand thread direction for standard nut and coupler compatibility
• Grade B7 alloy steel construction for elevated tensile strength compared to standard mild steel rods
• 72-inch full-length rod that can be field-cut to project-specific lengths
• Plain finish with no coating that may interfere with torque or thread engagement
• General-purpose designation suitable for suspension, bracing, and anchoring tasks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or new-installation threaded rod compatible with standard 1/4-20 UNC hex nuts, coupling nuts, and threaded inserts used in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical suspension assemblies.

Installation Notes

Threaded rod installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, pipefitters, or electricians depending on the supported system. Cut to length using a reciprocating saw, angle grinder, or rod cutter, and re-chamfer cut ends to ensure clean thread engagement. Follow applicable codes such as the IPC, IFGC, or NEC when using threaded rod for pipe or conduit hangers, as hanger spacing and rod diameter requirements vary by system. Inspect threads for damage before installation and do not use with mismatched thread standards.
